    Default Ugh...Dealing with Connor's Injury

    With Connor out for the next 6-8 weeks, my wing depth is going to be really tested. I have too many centers on my team, and think dropping at least one them for the best free agent winger(s) is my best path forward.

    When you look at Couturier, Hertl, and Norris, which guy should I drop? I'm leaning Norris as Ottawa stinks and he's the lowest scoring of the 3 in my league's setup. But they are all close in scoring.

    Top free agent wingers (per scoring in my league) include:
    - Coyle (RW)
    - Tarasenko (RW)
    - Granlund (RW)
    - Perfetti (LW,RW)
    - Crouse (LW,RW)
    - Coleman (LW,RW)
    - Wilson (RW)
    - Niederreiter (LW,RW)
    12 Team Weekly H2H, Daily Lineups. Keep 7 + 1 Prospect (<164 NHL games).
    Scoring:
    PLAYER: G(3), A(2), D Pts(addt'l 0.7), +/-(0.5), PPP(addt'l 1), SHP(addt'l 0.5), SOG(0.4), BLK(0.8)
    GOALIE: W(2), GA(-1.5), Saves(0.3), SO(3)
    Positions - 3C, 2RW, 2LW, 4D, 2G, 5 Bench, 4 IR, 1 prospect

    C - J Hughes(LW), Hintz, Malkin, Pinto
    LW - M Tkachuk(RW), Robertson
    RW - Rust, Necas, Zuccarello
    D - Makar, Fox, Bouchard, Roy, Krug
    G - Oettinger, Thompson, Wedgewood
    Prospect Keeper - L Hughes(D)
    IR - Hill(G)

    2024 Picks - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11

    Ottawa is also like 8 games behind some teams in games played. So I wouldn't be quick to drop Norris.

    But Granlund seems to be doing very well in SJS. I'd be picking him up and probably dropping Couturier.

    Double check with an "average stats" sort to see if Norris is producing well on a per game basis, but I think he'll eventually start to show stats that reflect his talent by end of January.
    12 Team, H2H, Keep 6 (in Bold)
    G, A, Pts, PPP, FW, SOG, Hits, Blocks
    W, Saves, S%, GAA, Game Started
    2C, 2LW, 2RW, 4D, 1Util, 2G, 5BN, 2IR, 1IR+, 1NA

    C: Horvat, Trocheck
    LW: J. Robertson, Byfield (C), Guenther
    RW: Pavelski (C), Giroux (C), Svechnikov (LW)
    D: Fox, Makar, Bouchard, Morrissey, Gudas
    Util: Meier (LW, RW)
    G: Oettinger, Georgiev, Samsonov, Woll

    going off the board and giving Crouse the love he deserves. Passed the 400 game breakout threshold late last season and this year he's pacing for 30-35 goals. I like what the 26-year-old power forward is bringing to the table.
